Some call it the path of the shaman What is the road for every woman or man We all have the spiritual sense A spiritual life and eternal license The spiritual realm opens as one of confusion Of deceit and dreams and illusion The delusions are the veil The curtains on the stage of the wheel The play that leads to insight deep and divine And that keeps our reality in line
To enter the world of reality There is a path to go of vitality A path that demands your entire strength And faith and endurance on length The gates to insight are called initiation Taking place in a gift of ordination At each threshold the price to be paid Could be death but don't be afraid Death only comes when you are without desire And faith and love for the highest attire
The task to accomplish is to discern Truth from lies and deceit from concern When you are missing deepest intention You will get stuck in the deception When you desire fame on the globe You can expect probe after probe You will attract to yourself what you wish Some secret desires are just devilish But you may fail to realize it until You are asked to pay the bill At the gate that leads to eternity And where you join your final fraternity Of people created by God Who are protected by the iron rod Of the truth which opened on the path On which you overcame the tester's wrath
Music can have a powerful effect on us. Many experiments show that music affects our state of consciousness in beneficial or adverse ways. Music also has effect on the growth of plants and the energy patterns in water. Watch the following video to see water crystals energized by music.
Music in this video: Mozart "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" - Beethoven "Symphany No. 9" -Dvorak "From the New World"
Music goes directly from heart to heart. When music is performed, a transfer takes place of energies that were put in by the composer and the performers to the listeners. These energies can be of different kinds. They can be energies of love, or sometimes hatred, that affect us on a heart level. They can also be energies on the level of the mind, inspiring us to get certain thoughts and feelings. A lot of music has a direct effect on the body, inciting us to dance or move. Some music has a strong healing effect.
Here i would like to write some words on the process of energy transfer through music. How does it work? For example, when you want to make music that has a healing effect, how could it be done?
The first that is necessary is to know a source of good energy and to have access to this source. This source of good energy can be in yourself or it can be outside of you, for example somewhere in nature. The energy that you connect to can have many different qualities. For example, you could connect to energy of the sun, or energy in parts of the cosmos, or energy in an ocean, energy in a tree, energy from the earth. The sources of good energy are sheer endless.
The second thing necessary is the medium through which you will pass on that good energy. The medium in this case is music. There is the composer of the music, the performer of the music and there are the music instruments. The main method to make the medium work in an excellent way is that all which is medium is centered both on the source of good energy and on the objects of your love, the people for whom the music is played and composed. The composer, thinking of the people for whom he or she makes the music, brings good energy into the composition. This is very much an intuitive and direct process. It works when the composer is very concentrated on both the energy source and the future or present audience. Often it helps to compose the music for just one particular person. Love flows more easily when you know to whom to give it. The process is the same for the performers of the music. Though some of the energies have been sealed into the music by the composer, the performers need to unite with the original intentions of the composer and need to revive the original energies to work as a channel for these energies to reach the audience.
The third element to be aware of is the listener, the object of the musician's love. When you make music, you don't make it just for yourself. You want to offer your music to other people. When music is composed, the identity of the listener is frequently known by the composer. When music is performed, the listeners are immediate objects to the love and energy that is given in or transferred through the music. It is here, in the actual musical performance, that the magic of music erupts in all its beauty and splendor.
Love and energy only flow when there are three elements present: the source of love and energy, a channel (composer and performers, the music itself and the music instruments) that function as medium, and the objects or the people to whom the music and the love and energy in it are given.
Listing these three elements may sound quite self-evident, but it is the degree that this is understood and mastered by composers and performers that music can be elevated from just a common daily experience to an event of mystical and truly beneficial proportions. When this process is understood, either intuitively or intellectually, there can come into existence a flow of good energies, emotions and joy of which the composer/performer experiences to be a part rather than a controller.
Now it is true that all mistakes we make in life have a purpose and we can learn from them... But it is also true that certain mistakes made by people have caused very much suffering to others.
Now it is true that when suffering comes upon us, there is a deeper reason for it hidden in the karma that we carry... But it is also true that we have free choice and we can choose to make life better for the present and the future.
Now it is true that after you made a mistake, you must take time to learn from it for the future... But it is also true that you can prevent to make certain mistakes. It is better to think twice before doing something than to just do what we feel impelled to do at the moment.
In the life of each person there come these moments that we have vision and faith and hope. That image of hope can easily disappear again in the shadows and distractions of daily life. But we can also take that image of hope as a a beacon that was given to us as a guide and a promise. That beacon of hope is far ahead of us. It may sometimes seem impossible to reach it, but we have gotten the gift of faith for a better future.
Then there is the road to go towards that beacon. While we are on the road, we may often not see the beacon anymore. We feel to sail blindly into a future of which we have a recollection of an image, but not much more than that. What is going to lead us on the way to find that beacon and then to realize our vision?
We each have our own path to go. The course toward the beacon of hope can be in a straighter line, shorter but often more difficult. The way to reach the beacon may also become one with many detours and will almost certainly be much less rewarding.
How to shorten our way into a better spiritual future? The vision given to us is like a promise, a hand reaching out to us. By reaching our hand out toward that promise, we shorten the way. Reaching out our own hand implies that we also must give a promise, a pledge to ourselves first of all, that we are going to take that road and fulfill whatever is necessary to advance on it.
Two promises meet one another. First there is the promise of the Creator for a life of harmony and happiness, a promise that each of us will get at one point in our lives. The other promise must come from ourselves. It is the pledge and determination to do what is necessary to reach our highest goal in life.

Rain drops in the water Where life began long ago Creations of the highest Origin of what we are
Rain drops in the water It is love that makes rain fall Purifies what got stained The love in the rain
Rain drops in the water From clouds filled with ether With our heads in the rain Our minds become clean
Rain drops in the water A simple process of creation Love, ether and air And fire, water and earth
Rain drops in the water One single drop of rain Teaches us the story Of beginning, growth and flow
Rain drops in the water Tears of grief or joy Transform the universe Cycles that we are part of
Rain drops in the water Dirt sinks to below A process of separation Fumes rise up to heaven
Rain drops in the water Vapor attached to clouds Drops attached to water Water attached to specks
Rain drops in the water In the revolutions of life Bindings do not hold As all is transmuted
Rain drops in the water It is the progression itself Creation of love and life That makes the rain fall in the water
Click the video to listen to the music. Sorry for the black screen, it's only meant for the audio. The music for the song is heard twice with an interlude in-between.
The world is full with organized religions. What is their value? To measure their merit, we need to have an idea of what religion originally should be. Then we can compare organized religion with original religion.
To me, religion is about an individual finding back his or her origins, becoming who you really are and developing all your potentials to the highest degree. Who can tell me about this, who can teach me what religion is? When i go around in the world and ask this question to representatives from different religions, i get several answers and maybe even some of these answers will come close to the essence.
But i am i and in myself i can feel who i am and i can feel my relation to the Creator. It is my desire to find highest unity with God and it is my belief that through this i will also become who i really am.
Religion is about yourself in relation to God, first of all. The desire to unite with God and finding your own highest value is something that i find in myself and other people find it in themselves. For this i don't need any established religion to tell me how to think. My desire for God is my deepest desire and i won't let anyone intrude on this. It is also me who has to judge what comes from the world outside. I myself have to decide if something is true or untrue. If i let others decide about that it would only mean that i will lose myself and make my deepest being dependent on the views of others.
I am i and you are you. We are both people and in myself i can feel what it means to be a human being. The deepest meaning of this is to be a creation of God, carved in the image of God. I can feel to be a child of God and in my heart i feel that this is my highest value. In that awareness i realize that other people are like that and that their highest value also is to be children of God. It means that all people are originally divine beings, though many people don't live in such a sacred way.
Original religion means to find back your true value, as a child of God or an object of God. Love has a source. The source of love is the Creator. When i am connected to the source of love, love flows into me and i can build up good relations to other people.
You or i can sense in ourselves what original religion means. In first instance nobody else has something to do with this. It is first of all an individual thing, between God and you or between God and me. When you desire for unity with God and i do the same, the miracle happens that we can unite with one another in the love of God. The love of God can then express through you to me and through me to you.
Original religion begins in each individual and it is expanded through natural relations between people who also practice original religion.
Original religion dates from before religions were organized. When organized religion is understood in the deepest sense, then it too has began as original religion. When organized religions focus on anything else first than the individual relation of each person with God, then these religions tend to deviate from the origin. In such organized religions, people are expected to adapt to certain rites and traditions and to accept certain hierarchies. This does not necessarily mean that you as individual cannot have your own relation anymore to the origin, but in practice it is often like that. Then such a religion expects us to accept hierarchies of people and sometimes of angels, and the relation to such people and angels comes before our individual relation with God.
When organized religion begins to function like that, it actually opposes original religion. Instead of leading us toward God, it leads us astray.
Original religion became a necessity when people did not primarily live from their relation to God but let other beings determine their ways. Often organized religions do the same. They expect you to obey people and human rules instead of wanting you to live from your individual relation with God.
People did not fall away from God as individuals. People fell away from God when they were influenced by other people and spiritual beings. This is why original religion cannot be practiced just as an individual effort, even though the central figure of the original religion is you. Religion means to restore the relations to God and to people around you. The smallest unit in which all relations are present is the home. This is why original religion is called Home Religion (basically, this is HomeChurch). When you as individual want to restore your relation to God, you must also restore your relation to those around you. The best training place for this is the home. The home is where we can practice to express God's love and where we can learn to keep God's love flowing through us. Original religion remains first of all an individual endeavor, but you cannot practice love by separating yourself from all other people and living as a hermit.
Imagine yourself as a point in space with around you a sphere of energy. We are all related to people around us and as a spiritual being we are also related to other spiritual beings. Angels were the most important spiritual beings before man existed. The energy sphere around you in the spiritual existence is influenced by the energy spheres of other beings to whom we relate.
There was a time that angels existed but man not yet. The first man or woman who lived had an energy sphere around him and this energy sphere was first of all influenced by the angels who were connected to the first man or woman. The first angels who had this task were leading angels or archangels, therefore we shall call them archangels.
How many archangels are needed to protect the energy sphere around an individual person? Imagine yourself again as a point in space and the archangel as an other point in space. The protection coming from this one archangel is in the direction of the line that can be drawn between the two points, the point in space that you are and the point in space that the archangel is.
When a person has two archangels protecting, there are three points and they form a plane. Only when three archangels protect a person, there is created a three-dimensional sphere of protection around the person. The energy spheres around you are influenced by the energy spheres of the three archangels. When they are united with you, your energy sphere will be untouched by possible harmful influences.
When the protection of man by angels had always been good, then nothing bad would ever have entered into human life. We can conclude that the protection of man by archangels is not ideal and this protection must be restored.
Human beings have been influenced by angels who went against God. When you want to go a course in life to restore an ideal situation, one of the most important things is that you restore the protection of three archangels around you. Because people have inherited the nature of archangels who failed, we have to restore the protection of three archangels around us. This we can do by serving and loving and teaching three people.
These three people do also each need again the protection of three archangels, or three people supporting the mission of the central person. When you are the first person trying to restore your position as man, you must acquire the protection of three people around you. These people will take a similar position to you as archangels did in the spiritual world. To secure the protection of your energy sphere, your first three archangels do also need their protection of 3 x 3 archangels. Together with your first three archangels, this amounts to 12 archangels.
This is the reason why people with a central mission always attempted to get 12 loyal disciples, or archangels.
In Home Church we try to restore ourselves as original people and the most essential task to be accomplished is to secure the protection of your energy field by making friends to three people in archangel position to you. In a further stage, you must expand to having 12 friends in the position of archangel.
All people have an energy sphere around them and always this energy sphere is influenced in either positive or negative ways by three people who stand closest to you. In Home Church we try to make ourselves aware of who these three first archangels are and we make effort to establish a good relation to these three people by serving them, loving them and teaching them.
A new child is born in a house and something really wonderful happens. A natural miracle of love and harmony occurs that teaches us a principle that we so often tend to forget. A child is born and everyone is inspired. Elder brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents and friends, they all want one thing: to be inspired by the newborn.
Not one single person seems to notice very much of the wrinkles in the skin of the baby. Everyone sees beauty in the newborn child and everyone comes to offer their gifts of protection and love.
Not so long ago and still in many societies around the world, the birth of the child was or is a family affair. In the modern world, the ceremony around the beginning of new life is usually one in that the state has made a large claim. The child that begins the course of life is first touched by hands of strangers, or should i call them specialists. They assure that life is kept and controlled and they and other representatives of the government will continue to do so to guard the child's health and education.
The younger child inspires and the elder parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends protect.
A principle of life has made itself visible in this extreme situation of the entirely unprotected and very youngest who for the first time meets the elders. That principle is that the younger inspires and that the elder protects.
Imagine that this principle would be kept for all our families, groups and even the whole world. The younger doesn't necessarily always mean the younger in age. It can also mean the younger in heart, the one whose heart is open for new insights and revelations. The elder means the stronger, the one with foundation, maybe with money, with experience and knowledge.
We all are sometimes the younger and sometimes the elder. Very often the future of a whole tribe of nation depends on how the younger and the elder get along. In a royal family two princes are born. The elder is strong and the younger has deeper thoughts and desire. When the elder and the younger prince get along well, the good future of their nation is guaranteed. But how often do they get in war and when they fight each other, their nation splits and falls in pieces.
We find back this theme of the struggle between the elder and the younger in myths and sages around the world. At a certain period in my life i watched many Bollywood movies. I was amazed that in the majority of these Indian films an elder and a younger brother struggled to harmonize. Usually their mother played a major role to unify them while often a beautiful young woman had to make her choice to give her love to one of the two brothers.
When the elder can let him or her be inspired by the younger and the younger can be grateful for the protection of the elder, how many problems would be solved in our world. This relation of elder-younger is a real test case and field of experimentation for love to win over envy, for harmony to win over war.
The Judeo-Christian tradition lets human history begin with the struggle between Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel, the elder and younger brother, could not unite. Cain killed Abel and the human history of war and division had begun. The theme comes back between Ishmael and Isaac, Esau and Jacob, Saul and David ... The examples are endless and always the outcome of such a relation between the younger and the elder determines the future of a family, tribe or nation or even the entire world.
All the articles published here were written by John Eagles. The inspiration for these came from my desire to live a life under God. I have been inspired by many models from past and present, but always Creator has given me my greatest spur. Many articles are based on my spiritual experiences.
Temporarily i am not adding new articles to this blog. Go to Eagle-Rock.org to find overviews with many of my older and newer essays.
